Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to dispenser assemblies for receptacles such as fragrance or personal care bottles, and in particular, to an improved collar for use therewith that significantly reduces the likelihood that the dispenser assembly will inadvertently or undesirably become decoupled from the receptacle, without sacrificing the ease of which the collar can be initially positioned thereon. That is, the present invention is directed to an improved dispenser assembly that maximizes the "off-to-on" force of application and removal forces for the collar. An improved method of assembling the dispensing assembly on the receptacle is also provided.
  • prior art fragrance and personal care pumps consist of a pump module, a manual actuator for operating the pump, a ferrule that contains the module and crimps onto the receptacle (i.e. glass or plastic container), a gasket that seals the ferrule to the top of the receptacle's neck and a decorative collar.
  • a cap may also be provided over the collar either in a slip-fit or a snap-fit arrangement.
  • the pump is retained on the bottle by one of two methods:
  • the collar can be metal or plastic.
  • retention of a plastic collar on the ferrule is not a major concern because designs incorporate snap fits or heavy press fits that do not compromise the outer aesthetics of the collar.
  • metal collars are usually fabricated in aluminum and then anodized to produce a lustrous surface.
  • the internal surface of the collar may contain multiple elongated vertical ribs (see Figs. 1 and 1A ) that project outwardly several thousandths of an inch off the inner surface thereof.
  • the collar When the collar is pushed over the ferrule with a heavy press fit, the collar slightly distorts, or "breathes,” into a polygon, giving it a resiliency that deals with the tolerances.
  • Another attribute of the ribs is to concentrate the "hoop" stress at multiple points, causing the ribs to dig into the ferrule and thus increasing the resistance to removal.
  • the press fit over the ferrule must be large enough to assure that the collar cannot be accidentally pulled off the ferrule, it must be low enough to avoid damaging the outer surface of the collar.
  • the anodized surface of the collar is typically a very thin film of aluminum oxide that contains a colorant dye. When stressed in tension, the oxide film can crack, creating a diffraction grating that produces a rainbow effect, which detracts from the aesthetics. As a result, the rib locations become evident on the outer surface of the collar, a condition known as "crazing".
  • the press fit must be high enough to compress the gasket sufficiently to assure a seal to the bottle neck so as to avoid leaking, the press fit should not be so high as to over-compress the gasket, causing it to extrude out from under the ferrule, or creating such large forces that the bottle collapses or breaks.
  • the present invention seeks to reduce the required application force so as to avoid collar crazing while simultaneously providing for (a) sufficient gasket compression without extrusion, (b) a desirable amount of required removal force, and (c) an increase in the ratio of axial collar removal force to application force.
  • the present invention achieves these as well as the below mentioned objectives.
  • a dispenser assembly for dispensing a substance from a receptacle according to claim 1 is provided.
  • a method of assembling such a dispenser assembly upon a receptacle according to claim 3 is also provided.
  • Another objective of the present invention is to provide an improved dispensing assembly that reduces the likelihood that the collar will be accidentally or inadvertently pulled off the ferrule by a user, while also reducing the likelihood of damaging the outer surface thereof during the assembly thereof.
  • Yet another objective of the present invention is to provide an improved dispensing assembly that effectively compresses the gasket sufficiently to assure a good seal to the bottle neck and avoid leaking while reducing the likelihood of bottle breaking or collapsing.
  • Still another objective of the present invention is to provide an improved method of assembling such a dispensing assembly that achieves the aforementioned and below mentioned objectives.
  • dispensing assembly 1 (hereinafter "assembly 1"), is primarily for dispensing a substance (such as, but not limited to, a liquid such as perfume, cologne or lotion) from a receptacle, generally indicated at 10.
  • receptacle 10 is comprised of glass, but one skilled in the art would appreciate that other materials, such as certain types of plastics or ceramics, can be used therefor.
  • receptacle 10 includes a neck 12 and a rim 14.
  • neck 12 and rim 14 are integrally molded together during the formation of receptacle 10.
  • Assembly 1 also comprises a pump assembly, generally indicated at 50 (see Fig. 4 ).
  • Pump assembly 50 generally known as a module, is well known in the art, and therefore the details of its construction and function can be omitted herein for purposes of brevity.
  • pump assembly 50 comprises an exit tube 52 through which the liquid leaves pump assembly 50, an intermediate pumping mechanism and chamber coupled thereto and generally indicated at 54, the construction and function of which is well known in the art, and a dip tube 56, coupled to intermediate pumping mechanism and chamber 54, that extends into receptacle 10 and transports liquid from receptacle 10 towards pumping mechanism and chamber 54.
  • Assembly 1 also comprises a ferrule, generally indicated at 20.
  • ferrule 20 is an integrally formed metal member, and is typically formed by conventional stamping and pressing and/or cutting processes all well known.
  • a primary function of ferrule 20 is to maintain a satisfactory coupling of pump assembly 50 to receptacle 10.
  • ferrule 20 comprises an outer surface 23 and an interior cavity 24.
  • ferrule 20 has a stepped configuration thereby forming two chambers in the interior cavity 24, namely chambers 24a and 24b (see Fig. 5 ).
  • Chamber 24a is separated from chamber 24b by an annular flange 25.
  • Chamber 24b is bounded at the top by surface 26 of ferrule 20.
  • Top surface 26 has an aperture 27 through which exit tube 52 of pump assembly 50 extends.
  • Ferrule 20 also has a plurality of bendable and depending legs 22 for engaging rim 14 of receptacle 10 in a manner more fully disclosed below.
  • assembly 1 includes an annular and preferably resilient gasket 40, positioned in interior cavity 24 and in particular, in chamber 24a and against the inner surface of and in frictional engagement with annular flange 25.
  • Gasket 40 also has an opening through which pumping assembly 50 is positioned.
  • gasket 40 maintains an airtight seal between pumping assembly 50 and receptacle 10 when ferrule 20 is crimped around rim 14 of receptacle 10, as the gasket is positioned intermediate a flange 57 ( Fig. 4 ) of assembly 50 and the top surface 13 of receptacle 10.
  • an improved collar generally indicated at 60, and most fully illustrated in Fig. 6 .
  • collar 60 is annular, and has an inner surface 62 and an outer surface 64.
  • Collar 60 includes an opening 65 at its top end to receive an actuator button 66 that is mounted on the top of the exit tube 52 of pump assembly 50.
  • the actuator button 66 its construction and operation, as well as its engagement with exit tube 52 so as to disburse liquid, is very well known in the art.
  • Inner surface 62 comprises outwardly projecting elongated ribs 66 that extend along inner surface 62.
  • Fig. 6 illustrates ribs that are angled along the inner surface 62, as opposed to the parallelly aligned (with respect to the longitudinal axis of the collar) ribs of Fig. 1 .
  • ribs 66 are non-orthogonally aligned to a tangent line ("I t " ) of outer surface 64 of collar 60, or as another frame of reference, non-parallel to a longitudinal axis (see Fig. 8 ) of the collar.
  • Reference lines “I v " are also provided for purposes of understanding the preferred angling of ribs 66, and should be assumed to be along the inner surface 62 of collar 60. With such a reference, an acceptable angle ⁇ of ribs 66 along the inner surface 62 so as to allow collar 60 to rotate as it is being fitted on ferrule 20 (as discussed below) is approximately ten (10) degrees.
  • the method of final construction of the dispensing assembly 1 comprises the step of first providing an annular collar such as collar 60 disclosed above, and aligning it so as to be positionable and securable on ferrule 20 (see Fig. 2 ). Thereafter, the collar 60 is slid downwardly (see arrow "a" (compare position of collar 60 in Fig. 3 to Fig. 7 ) over the outer surface 23 of ferrule 20 towards receptacle 10.
  • An exemplary press-fit assembly is shown generally at 80 and presses straight down in the direction "a" against collar 60.
  • a flange 81 ensures a good pressing engagement with the top of the collar.
  • collar 60 is caused or otherwise allowed to rotate in the clockwise direction (see “CW” arrow of Fig. 7 for ribs angling as illustrated in Fig. 6 (a "CCW" direction for ribs angling from 1:00 to 7:00 o'clock)).
  • elongated ribs 66 form complementary elongated deformations (i.e.
  • collar 60 is caused or otherwise allowed to rotate as it is being mounted onto and press-fit downwardly over ferrule 20. Collar 60 is caused to continue its downward and rotational movement along the outer surface of ferrule 20 so as to ensure the trapping of the plurality of depending legs 22 with the rim 14 of the receptacle, thereby maintaining the coupling of the ferrule 20 with the receptacle 10 ( Fig. 7 ).
  • a metal ferrule such as that made from aluminum, and a conventional gasket provides the desired amount of friction needed therebetween to cause the collar to rotate on the ferrule without the ferrule itself spinning.
  • the inside diameter of collar 60 around ribs 66 is less than the diameter of outer surface 23 of ferrule 20 (see Fig. 8 ). That is, collar 60 is initially prevented from sliding down further over ferrule 20 when an initial force is applied to collar 60. However, an increase in the applied force causes collar 60 to slide and rotate over the outer surface of ferrule 20, ensuring that legs 22 bend downwardly and remain under rim 14 of receptacle 10 (see Fig. 8 ). Dispenser assembly 50 is then securely held against receptacle 10. The gasket 40 provides sealing.
  • the required force to apply collar 60 securely onto ferrule 20 depends on the shape and size (e.g., radial thickness) of the ribs 66, along with the inherent characteristics of the material comprising collar 60 and ferrule 20 as well as the construction of assembly 80. However, this force needs to be balanced against the resultant force required to remove collar 60 from ferrule 20. Hence, the objective of the present invention is to maximize the ratio of the "off-to-on" force for the needed operation.
  • the collars constructed in accordance with the present invention were made 0.003 inch larger than that provided by Fig. 1 (when measured from the inner diameter taken from the surface of the respective inner ribs (see Figs. 1 and 8 )), to reduce the friction-fit and to reduce the likelihood of crazing; thus also reducing the application (i.e. "on") force required. Both collars were anodized together and applied to one population of pumps with one population of bottles.
  • a preferred construction of the present invention is that the inner diameter of the collar, as measured between the inner surfaces 69 of the ribs 66, is .636 inches.
  • this dimension would change as it is based on the size of the ferrule and the other components.
  • a larger collar that that provided in the prior art can be utilized with improved results. Therefore, dimensions set forth herein should not be seen in the limiting, but rather in an illustrative sense.
  • the present invention maximizes the "off-to-on" ratio of a collar for a dispensing assembly for a receptacle as disclosed above. Furthermore, the present invention provides an improved dispensing assembly that reduces the likelihood that the collar will be accidentally or inadvertently pulled off the ferrule by a user, while also reducing the likelihood of damaging the outer surface ("crazing") thereof during the assembly process. The present invention also provides an improved dispensing assembly that effectively compresses the gasket sufficiently to assure a good seal to the bottle neck and avoid leaking while reducing the likelihood of bottle breaking or collapsing.
